[mythtv-users] HD Streams on 802.11N (with a HDHomeRun)

[Michael Donaghy]

Just writing to see if anyone is using 802.11N & HD in their myth setup.
Yes, I've read http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Network & done a subject line
search.

I think I can run a coax line from the attic (UHF antenna) to an
existing gigabit ethernet switch in my house (office), where I could
theoretically put a HDHomeRun.  If I replaced my existing 802.11g access
point/router/NAT box with 802.11N(+G) access point/router/NAT box, and
then bought an N AP (no NAT, router, just wireless bridge) & placed it in
my TV equipment rack in a seperate room, would N provide the actual bandwidth
I need for 2 HD streams?

Sure, I'd love to hard-wire the connection, but cable, crimping tools,
wallplates, 6' drill bits, sheet rock tape, mud, paint, etc. are making
the cable fish job close to $300-400 in parts alone, not counting several
weekends of my labor or paying an electrician.  Slabs & vaulted
ceilings, and a bunch of exterior walls are making this an especially tricky
fish job.

I'm assuming the state of the N world in Linux still leaves much to be
desired, and a wireless bridge in the TV room would be the way to go,
compared to trying to add an N card to a box.

Sure, I know N can theoretically go 240 Mb/s, however from the B & G
worlds, I know theoretical & actual are 2 seperate things.  So I'm
asking the list to see if anyone has bothered to send the output of an
HD Home Run (2 ATSC streams) over an 802.11N connection to a BE/FE myth
box.

Thanks!

Michael
